THE GUINNESS SECRET: WHY THE BUBBLES FLOAT DOWN
IT’S NOT the result of downing one too many – Guinness bubbles really do go down instead of up.
As pubs stocked up with extra supplies for St Patrick’s Day today, scientists explained why the Irish brew behaves so oddly.
Pour just about any other pint of beer and the bubbles obey the laws of physics. Filled with buoyant gas, they rise to the surface and form a head. But with a Guinness the bubbles appear to be cascading down the side of the glass – yet the creamy top remains.

Why Was the Hatter Mad?
“Have some Guinness!” said the March Hare.
“I don’t see any Guinness,” Alice replied.
“There isn’t any” said the March Hare.
“Then you must be mad to offer me some!” said Alice indignantly.
“It’s after hours,” said the Hatter, “and we can’t get any. That’s enough to make anyone mad.”
“But surely you could have ordered some to drink at home,” said Alice.
“There!” said the March Hare. “We never though of that. That just shows how mad we must be.”

Drinking Guinness Prevents Hair Loss?
If you don’t listen to the Pogues, you really should. I’ll say that before I share the story of frontman Shane MacGowan, who has found a unique way to prevent hair loss: washing your hair with beer. Plus, he’s also found a super gross way to enjoy a good Guinness.
He says, “They sell all those lotions to cure you of baldness… They don’t work. There is only one way to cure baldness – you pour Guinness over your head, collect it in a bucket, and drink it in the morning.
“It’s proven to work.”
That’s science there, folks. Solid, concrete science. If he says it works, it must clearly work. Also, if that’s not enough reason to listen to the Pogues then I don’t know what will convince you. Can’t say we’d suggest tossing a beer into your head every morning, but we’re also not Irish. Who knows what those blokes are up to overseas.
I believe in everything Shane MacGowan says!
